Dublin KinderCare

Both my kids grew up at the center. It is a second home. The teachers are amazing and always teaching my children new things. My youngest child is only an infant and is already doing sign language at home with us. She learned it at school. I can only say good things about the school.

Do not understand bad reviews on that place at all. Only can say good words about my experience here. Caring, responsive, willing to adjust to your child needs, clean, spacious place. My kids do not want to leave place in the evening (I have 5 and 3 yo there full time). 3 yo even prepares clothes for tomorrow school as she calls it; teacher always give complete feedback how the child spent the day. Place is really big both inside and outside, meals are provided, but once again the main thing for me is that kids like it a lot. I would recommend the place.

Someone actually contacted me from Kindercare more than 10 days ago indicating that someone e would call to resolve the matter. Waiting… yeah, not impressed.

My 4 year old is not as outgoing and he struggled to feel welcomed and situated. The class sizes are huge — they have one main teacher and a teachers aid, so the class can be as large as 24 kids. It’s very big, intimidating, and impersonal.
With an introverted kid, it was torture for both him and I to drop him off there every morning.
I think the teachers can do a lot more by first knowing his name (the «floater» part-​time teachers did not know my son’s name) and making him feel welcomed in the morning and to bring him to the table and make him feel in the know with what’s going on and maybe even help spark a conversation with friends.
If intimate and caring is what you’re looking for with more individual attention (such as teacher noticing incorrect pencil holding and correcting it), then this would not be the right place for you.

Our experience at Kindercare in Dublin was not very good! I’m glad we got out when we did! Make sure to really evaluate this school before signing up. Wishing Kindercare good luck in improving everything there!

My son loves coming here after school, the program is excellent and the teachers and executive director cares for the kids and parents!
